When we were at lunch today waiting 45 minutes for our food at Fabilis Wings in Trinidad, Colorado the kids both made funny faces. Well, funny to those who have the humor level of a 2 or 3 year old anyways. Naturally, I was amused. I just had to snap a picture so we could …

It’s nearly the 4th of July and we all gather to remember that great day back in 1776 when independence was declared. It was a Thursday according to this day of the week calculator. Nowadays we like to blow stuff up and eat copious* amounts of food and consume much beverage. It’s a pretty fun …

Last weekend here in Trinidad, Colorado we went out to the Family Fun Days at the Las Animas County Fairgrounds. We had a swell old-fashioned time there. We ate hot dogs and funnel cake, played (and won) some games, and rode a couple of rides. It was the first time either of the kids participated …

I just needed to post something to test out a thing on my blog. This is it. Amazing, right! It’s these 2 dang ol’ kids peepin’ out the window at me as I was out in our yard. Did you know that having a yard is pretty nice? Now you know. Before we just …

Here’s a little picture I put together of Eliza on the day she was born, over three years ago, and today. In both of them she’s holding her mom’s hand. What a difference over 3 years makes, right? She was so dang tiny way back then. Just look how her entire hand was easily …

Remember a few days ago when I posted about how sometimes (all of the times) there’s yelling, screaming, and crying going on over here? Well here’s a little video showing some of it in action. It’s one thing for me to type here and you to read it, it’s another thing to see/hear it. You can’t …

I don’t know if it’s normal or not, but over here at the Casa De Stay At Home Brad there’s a lot of yelling, screaming, and crying that goes on. Sometimes it’s warranted, like just yesterday Hank shut Eliza’s fingers in a drawer. That’s a cryin’. But mostly it’s something that’s not really something. Like …

I was making photos of them both individually but then Eliza decided I should take one with both of them in it. So she grabbed Henry by the neck and brung him over. It’s a touching family photo we’ll treasure always. I’m thinking about having it enlarged and hung on the wall. It’s true …

Hey look, it’s massive headwound Henry. You know, like massive headwound Harry from Saturday Night Live (SNL). Remember that one? He laid on the couch and the dog ate his scab right off, and it was hilarious. So this reminded me of that. If you were to look closer at little Henry’s head you …

Sometimes when Eliza is using her potty she makes her brother hold her hands. She also sometimes makes me hold her hands, usually when she’s pooping. It’s kind of strange, especially when she looks me right in the eye and drops a deuce.

She was practicing for when she had to go to the dentist, opening up real wide like the dentist likes you to do. It was her first real dentist appointment and she did so great. Her teeth got brushed and counted and she got a special surprise toy afterwards. It was really great. Here …

We went to a birthday party for one of Eliza’s little friends over the weekend. The backyard is where most of the festivities took place and what activities there were. Someone brought a mini bouncy house, there was an awesome brand new swing set/playground thing, electric child sized cars zoomed around, pizza and cake flowed …

Over the Labor Day Weekend, we went down to Colorado Springs to see the sights, mostly the hot air balloon sights at the 38th (and possibly final) Colorado Balloon Classic at Memorial Park. It’s Eliza’s 3rd and Henry’s 2nd hot air balloon festival, they are quite the balloon goers! We had a grand old time …

My daughter gets cracked out. Just ask her and she’ll tell you. It happens when something is funny. You see, she really means cracked up but she says out. I think it’s pretty funny. Here’s a video of it. You see, she’s totally cracked out man! What’s her deal anyways? I ask her but she …

Eliza is 3 years old and as you might know I have taken a photo of her just about every day of her life. This is the video I made where I put all of them together, showing each one for one tenth of a second and you watch her go from birth to 3 …

I was looking through my old pics tonight as I was putting together Eliza’s (belated) photo a day for her whole life video and came across this gem. Check out these crazy kids. They be wrastlin’ up some storms, when they’re not busy being just crazy. This was from late December last year, things haven’t …

Eliza’s Game She came up with a new game the other day, it’s called Grapeball. Here’s a video showing how you play. http://youtu.be/l0P9E5v33e8 Easy right! Just throw the grapes. You can also play any other kind of ball in the same way. Just find something you can throw and throw it. For example, pick up …

It was recently Eliza’s 3rd birthday and one thing she got was a VTech Kidizoom. As you might know she has been photographed like, a hundred thousand times in her life. She always was trying to get my Canon T3i camera if I left it in her reach. Now she has her own to use …
